I write mostly about politics, social, and cultural issues for my personal blog, BreakingBrown.com as well as BreakingBrown.tv and Breakingbrown.me. I am also an editor for YourBlackWorld.

Before embarking on a career as a writer, I served as a Congressional aide, first to Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), and later to former Congressman Marion Berry (D-AR). In my role as a legislative staffer, I prepared briefings, staffed Congressional hearings, represented Members with their constituents, and performed other support duties where necessary.

In my time on the Hill, I also worked as Regional Field Director for America’s Families United (AFU), one of the largest non-profit Get Out the Vote (GOTV) campaigns active during the 2004 election cycle. At AFU, I played an integral role in establishing the framework and assessment criteria for distributing over 20 million dollars to AFU’s grant recipient organizations.

In the broader Democratic Party, I served as assistant to the Director of the Women’s Vote Center at the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

My articles have been featured in the Huffington Post and YourBlackWorld. I have been quoted by national news outlets including, but not limited to; The Nation, The Guardian, Politico and NPR.

I received a B.A. in Political Science from Howard University.

BreakingBrown

BreakingBrown.com is a social media hub which aggregates the freshest and most insightful content from brown bloggers, podcasters and videocasters on the internet. We aggregate, distribute, critique and and explore black and brown people in the unending universe which is social media. Now there’s no longer a need for you to stalk cyberspace in search of an honest black or brown perspective. It’s all right here.

In addition to providing the content which black and brown readers sorely miss with the mainstream media stream, we also consider ourselves a meeting place for black and brown social media enthusiasts and thus provide a stream of useful social media information for our overworked and underpaid (thanks Arianna) social media provocateurs.

Search. Discover. Observe.
